BONSAI NEW EASY METHOD #67-COCONUT PALM BONSAI

I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GROW A BONSAI PALM. WE’RE GONNA TRY TO GROW ONE ANYWAY. BRIAN BATCHELDER, THE HOST OF “NEW HORIZONS IN BONSAI,” A PBS SHOW THAT AIRED IN THE LATE ’80′S. hE WAS THE ORIGINATOR OF THE BONSAI IN SPHAGNUM MOSS METHOD. hE HAD STARTED A COCONUT PALM, THE IDEA BEING TO RESTRICT ITS GROWTH BY CONTROLLING THE SIZE OF THE POT. BRIAN DIED BEFORE WE GOT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED WITH THAT PALM. I FOUND THIS PERFECT SIZED SPECIMEN AT A PRODUCE MARKET. WE WILL FOLLOW ITS PROGRESS OR LACK THEREOF.
